I can relate to the despair one might feel but I've never been to the depths that might make me think of self harm. I do understand though, there are those who visit that possibitlity frequently. That must be hard to cope with. I hope your niece gets help through this and most importantly comes out the other side with all the right reasons to live.
Good luck with the battle. Cheers P x

She will be fine thanks Pip, it's a heartrending condition. She is beautiful, gorgeous figure, great singer... yet no confidence, no idea of what she has. Lack of confidence must be genetic LMAO. Thanks again girlie for your best wishes, Jaq xxx
Comment from Roxanna Andrews
I have friends who do this as well, so heartbreaking. I hate it and hope they find peace in less destructive ways. This is very well done, great rhyme and flow, I see no errors. Good job. Rox

this is a beautiful written poem,
I like this poem because, this is a poem I feel I can relate & put myself in there. self harm can be hard to understand especially for the one's who don't use it

Comment from GWinterwin
This is a great writing about something no doubt very hard for many to understand. Your good word flow and rhyming tell a sad but real story. The torment one must go through that has this problem. We must not condemn someone like this, but love them even more and strive to help them to overcome whatever causes this problem. Great writing, thank you for sharing God bless always.

Comment from Jade Lawson
Thank you for sharing such creation... Self-harm it is a very serious problem, not only physically but also an emotional one.
You reach the emotions of the reader very well, I could feel the strong words, and the anguish.
I loved the rhyming and the enjambment that you display this poem. The first stanza is my favourite.

I really like this poem, albeit the dark subject matter. It is very well written, and the rhyming improves and enhances the flow.

This poetry transports the reader to a dark and scary
place. I like the way that the words are arranged on
the page. The reader-friendly language makes it easy
to comprehend. Thank You for your creation.

Comment from Val Crisson
I have niece that was the same way, and as your poem indicates it's not so simple where the problem lies. This is a very powerfully written poem on the subject of maiming oneself. Mental illness is such an ignored subject universally and we really need to change that.
